I smiled as I filled my small bad with some cloths, books, etc..."YO! YO! WASSS-UP!" I screamed, fell down, turned around and looked up at my mirror. "I'm sorry Crona! Did I scare you?" Ragnarok came out yelling, "No, Dolt! You didn't scare Crona 'cause I'm part of Crona and nothin' scares me, Stupid reaper!" "No, Ragnarok! Don't yell at him, what if he gets mad at us?" That's your problem!" He yelled as he went away. "Urr... Okayyyy.... Well I just came to say I'm so happy you're staying with Kid while he's sick! Just, please, don't let him see anything asymmetric. It really freaks him out." "I-I know Sir." I looked in the background behind Lord Death, and Spirit was curled in a ball with a doll that looked like Maka. *Sniff* "MAKA!! DADDY LOVES YOU AND MAMA! REALLY, IT'S THE TRUTH MAKA!!!!" Shinigami turned and glared at him. "Spirit could you please-" "MA-KA-A" "SHINIGAMI CHOP!!! It would be wise to shut up Spirit. Now," He turned back to me, "I'm sorry about that Crona. Anyway what was I saying? Oh! Yes I talked to Stein about it, and he said he'll bring some medicine by later. But, please don't let him dissect Kid." I noticed Spirit had started crying again. Lord Death noticed too, "Umm, I'll see ya later Crona." After I had gotten everything I needed I started to run back to kid's house. About half way there I froze, "Hello Crona." I turned around slowly. No, please no. "L-Lady Medusa?" She was smaller, like a child. "I've heard you managed to get in the Reaper's home. Good job Crona. I'm proud of you." "You're proud, of, me?" "Yes Crona. Now I have a task for you. It's dreadfully simple, you'll do fine. I just want you to gather as much information as possible. Also here." She handed me a pen. "There's a snake in that pen. All you have to do is put it in Shinigami's son's drink. Okay? I know you can do it Crona." With that she left. I looked down at the small blue pen. I walked the rest of the way to Kid's house. I slid the pen in my bag and walked up to kid's room. He was sitting in bed eating pasta. "Hey Kid." "Oh, Crona. You can put your stuff in the guest bedroom across the hall. "I'm going to bed. Do you need anything?" "No, thank you. I'll be fine." "Yell if you need anything." I walked into my room with my feet dragging. I tossed my bag down and sat on the bed and cried. I don't know what to do! I have to listen to Lady Medusa, but, Kid's so nice to me! I can't hurt him.
I sat on the bed for hours trying to decide what to do.
I stood up and slowly walked across the hall with the pen in my hand. I quietly opened Kid's door and peered in, good, he is asleep. I stood next to Kid's bed. There was a glass of water on the night stand next to him. All I had to do was open the pen and- I dropped the pen and collapsed sobbing.
I can't do it.
Kid's big gold eyes snapped open. "Crona! What's..." He picked up the pen and looked at it for a few second before he turned to me, "Crona, what happened? I thought we were friends." Were, Were friends? We're not friends anymore? I hated this! I didn't want to choose between my mother and my best friend! I couldn't take it anymore I broke down. I hugged Kid tightly as I told him everything that had happened. After I finished Kid hugged me and didn't let go. "Crona, I know she's your mother, but think about everything she's done. She really doesn't deserve you. You shouldn't be afraid of her ether. I know she's a witch, but she doesn't control you, you can fight her." He kept holding me. I looked up at him, "No, I'll lose." "Sh! I'll help. It'll all be okay." He pulled me up into his bed so I was laying next to him. He wrapped his arms around me, and in a few minutes, he was asleep. After a few more deep breaths, I wrapped my arms around him and fell asleep.

I woke up when I heard sobbing. I sat up in bed and found myself looking down on a crying Crona."Crona!What's..." I noticed a small blue pen next to Crona. I picked it up and looked at it. It didn't have ink inside, it had a small black/purple snake like thing in it. I remember my father talking to Stein about these kinds of things. They had said witches could use them to control people. But why would Crona have one in my room? I didn't want to believe myself, but the only reason I could come up with was that Crona wanted to put that in me."Crona, what happened? I thought we were friends." It hurt to use past tense. I had really thought we were friends, she had seemed almost happy here. More open with me than anyone-even Maka. Maybe she was just trying to get to me. Crona suddenly grabbed me and hugged me as tightly as she possibly could.
